Is your live session actually profitable?

GMV is a vanity number. Between platform fees, affiliate commission, host pay and returns, a ₱100,000 live can net less than a ₱40,000 one. This calculator does the arithmetic per session, so you can compare streams (or hosts) on profit instead of hype.

You keep, per ₱100 of GMV

Platform fees are applied to delivered GMV (after your returns %): commission by category, transaction 2.24%, shipping service fee capped ₱100/item, ₱3 processing per order, seller growth fee. Affiliate commission is calculated on delivered GMV; TikTok charges it only on settled orders. Ads (GMV Max etc.) not included — add them to host cost if you run them per-session.
